Least Developed Countries (LDCs) will only be able to reap their vast potential to become knowledge-based manufacturing hubs for the green transition with a major realignment of national and international investor interests, according to Rebecca Grynspan, Secretary General of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).
One of the world’s leading methanol suppliers has highlighted a gap between expected production of green methanol, derived from renewable hydrogen and captured carbon, and the number of ships expected to be delivered with capability to use the carbon-neutral fuel.
As Oman ramps up production of green hydrogen, ammonia and methanol in pursuit of lofty production targets, the Sultanate is eyeing bunkering as an offtaker for its green fuels.
It already keeps buildings cool, purifies water, bolsters agricultural yields and is one of seven base ingredients from which all chemical products are made, from plastics to textiles to medicines.

• The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) and the International Bunker Industry Association (IBIA) have joined forces to submit a proposal for a simplified Global GHG Fuel Standard for the next round of International Maritime Organization (IMO) greenhouse gas negotiations. • The ICS/IBIA proposal provides for a crucial streamlined voluntary “energy pooling compliance mechanism” to address the possibility of fuel producers being unable to supply new fuels in sufficient quantities. • To ensure agreement at IMO by 2025, industry’s simplified approach will minimise administrative burden for governments, especially for developing countries, whose support will be vital to taking the fuel standard forward globally.
